Toner ruled out of PRO14 Final

He looked in a lot of pain coming off against Munster

Ireland Headcoach, Joe Schmidt may be in for a nervous wait to hear the true extent of Devin Toner's injury.

The Leinster second-row injured his knee in the Guinness PRO14 semi-final win over Munster at the RDS.

It was announced on Monday that Toner would not be available to face Glasgow in the big final at Celtic Park on Saturday.

The province say it needs to be further accessed before they give a definite time frame on recovery, with fears worse case scanerio would see Toner out of the picture, for when Joe Schmidt names his Rugby World Cup squad later in the summer.

At their media update, Backs Coach Felipe Contepomi gave a more optimistic view.

"He's definately ruled out of this week, we would like to think this isn't a long term injury." Contepomi said.

"We still don't have all the test results, MRI's and medical.

"I haven't spoken to Devin directly about his World Cup prospects, we hope it's not long-term, so hopefully he will be ok for that.

"I know it's around the corner but still three months before it kicks off.
